If you have a mental illness, you are not alone!

One in five American adults will have a mental illness during their lifetime that is severe enough to require treatment. Many more have problems that prevent them from enjoying their lives. We are here to stand by you as you find help, hope, and recovery. Fortunately, effective treatments are now available for many mental illnesses. Unfortunately, most people do not seek help. Many wrongly believe their symptoms are their own fault or are caused by personal weakness. They think if they try hard enough they can overcome their problems by themselves, and they suffer unnecessarily.

NAMI Wichita would like to reassure you that you are not alone. There are many others who have shared questions, anxieties and experiences similar to yours. NAMI Wichita supports not only those living with a mental illness but also the loved ones that stand behind them. Join and help us secure a better quality of life for all who are effected by a mental illness.

NAMI Wichita is pleased to announce a new Peer-to-Peer Recovery Education course for individuals living with mental illness. The classes will meet on Mondays, starting October 22 through December 10 from 2-4 P.M. at College Hill United Methodist Church, 2930 E. 1st Street North, Wichita 67214.

This series of 8 weekly classes focuses on helping persons understand their illness and gain skills to help establish and maintain wellness. Classes run once a week for two hours each. This is a great place to learn to understand yourself better and gain better coping and recovery skills. The course closes to new members after the first two classes. Taking the course does not lead to Peer Specialist Certification. The course is taught by two trained peer leaders. We encourage your interest in the course. We look forward to hearing from you!!
